Notice By w. q. @.

The ladies of the Woman's Relief
Corps, of Great Bend, have engaged
Mrs. Lisle Saxon to lecture for them
in about a week or ten days. Mrs.
Saxon is taking the field in the place
of Miss Anthony, who is sick at pres
ent. Mrs. Saxon has lectured in To-
pela and many other towna in the
eastern part of the State. Her sub
jects are woman suffrage and social
p urity. The following is what the
Topeka Capital says of her: "Mrs
Saxon carries her audience by storm.
Her command of language is wonder
full, and as a lady orator she has few
equals. Her address last night was a
splendid effort. She handled her SUBJ
iect with the skill of master, and her
forcible arguments and impassioned
appeals made profound impression.
She was frequently applauded during
her address, and at its conclusion the
applause lasted half minute. Her
audience was one of the largest ever
gathered to listen to lady"

No doubtosr present legislature will
try its hand at prohibition, because
shat has been the fashion for quite a
number of years with Kansas legisla>
lures. And furthermore it is probable
to all observing men that our present
Jaw is q miserable failure, and that
the people in al parts of the state
proclaim. Therefore our legislature
must do something before they 60
home to their respective constituencies
to give accounts of their stewardship.
In the campaign last fall the demo
Gratis declared unequivocaly for re-sub.
mission, the sprohibitionists declared
for prohibition, pure and simple. and
the republicans declared for nothing
in particular and every thing in gen
.eral. On that kind of platform
they won the state BY q sweeping ma
5ority. Rhey rallied OF democrats be-
cause they talked re.submission, they
slandsred the prohibitionists because
they preached prohibition. But now
comes fbe tug of war. The republi-
cans are brought face to face with the
fact that our present law is failure,
and what are they going to dos We
await the result With calm composure.
Let them az nounce that the present
Jaw is good enough and needs no
change and the people will rise as one
man and condemn them. Let them
announce that we need more stringent
laws and they staltty themselves for
opposing the prohibitionists last fall.
This is the Ranquo's ghost of tbs re-
publican party that will not down.
They won the last election by appeal
ing to prejudice and not to reason.
But they can equivoeate no longer.
The present lag. n intended to pro-
hibit, Is the greatest legislative blund-
err on record, and if not intended to
prohibit, the State ought to derive
some revenue from the sale ofspirituous
liquors

SENATOR VAN WICK was defeated
by the republican legislature Of Ne
braska for seat in the United States
Senate. Ifany proof is needed that
that party is the friend of monopolies,
here it is. The Senator had 80 deport-
ed himself that railroad corporations
hated him. For years he has been one
of the ablest champions of the people
in the Senate, and it is not crediable
to Nebraska that his labors should go
thus unrequitted. Deny it as they may
the republican party of Nebraska can
not remove the conviction now in the
gninds of the people, that they prefer
to be represented by friend of mo-
lOpoly.

The good people Of Hamilton county
are still vexed with county seat war.
Only those who have witnessed con-
test of this kind can fully realize all
the bitter feelings engendered. For
almost a year Kendall and Syracuse
haye waged this war, drawing into
the.eonfict every portion of the county
and almost every citizen. Can not
our present legislature devise some
law bya which such conflicts may in
the future be avoided? Happily for
Barton county this question was settled
long ago, and there is little fear that
it will ever sex US. But still, for the
peace and prosperity Of many western
counties, we should like to see the
s,gesAnt law changed.

THE LINE TO

Messrs. Brown and Peabody, Of the
Laramie City delegation, were among the
welcome callers at the NeroS Office yester-
day, and in the course of a casual CONVEX
sation suggested the practicabiitY of the
Denver, Utah l. Pacific railroad, now a
Denver corporation, rejecting the bids of
interested trunk lines and maintaining a
separate and independent existence. The
Independent programme would involve
the extension of the Denver, Utah j.
Pacific northwest from its present termi-
nus at Lyons, in Boulder county, to Fort
Collins and thence to Laramie City, with
feeders in Western Colorado.
A great deal might be said in favor of
this programme. The tendency OF Colo
rHdo lines, however, as evidenced by the
Colorado Central. the Denver Il Rio
Grande, the Denver Il South Park, the
Denver, Texas 4 Gulf. the Colorado Mid
land aud ave the Denver, Utah & Pa
eif,, has been to seek alliance, offensive
and defensive, with a trunk line running
TO the Missouri river, so that patrons of
the trunk line in the wholesale trade
have the use of the local system in dis
tributing their goods. No matter how
desirable independence might be it
has constantly to fight this tend
eney OF a distributing and feeding
road to ally itself with one or the
other of the great trunk lines, thus form
ing part Of a great system Of tariffs, which
practically does away with the independ
ent status, 80 far as the patrons of the local
roads are concerned, unless it may be in
regard to ore. coal, stone or some other
product which finds sale in the Denver
market, and has no relation to speak Of
with trade toward the East.
When the coal. stone or local product
forms part of the Denver surplus, how.
ever, aud must find its way east to pay,
then the trunk line alliance becomes de
Erable and necessary, and the tendency
ofthings is restored. In other words, the
chances of the Denver. Utah & Pacific re.
manning independent are about one in
twenty. But il 4 fortunate alliance is
formed when tbs formed, as Lady Mac
beth might express it, our friends in Lar.
annie will have no cause for regret In
railroads as in other matters it is still pos
able TOR all things to work together for
good. The tendency of the age is to con
solidate, and 80 marked is this tendency
that even the interstate law.
which was passed aud praised as a verita'
bic cure. all, has not affected it in the least.

TIE Railcay Register makes the fol-
lowing significant ~allusion to the Burling-
ton and Union Pacific railways: 1T looks
very much as though the Chicago, Bur.
GnRton & Quincy was about to absorb
control of the Union Pacific, or as though
there had been formed an alliance be-
tween the directors of the two companies,
with the determination to gil all the gaps
and give the cars Of the Chicago, Bur
lington & Quincy a clear run over the
Union Pacific rails to Portland on the
north, Los Angeles on the south and to
tide water in San francisco bay. Anyone
can see what a powerful combination this
would be. 1t would sastch two thirds
and more of the way across the continent,
command the heart Of the West with ter
minal stations at the three ~strategical
business stations of the West, and by
direct lines virtually command the best
Of the belt Of country which it will ira
verse.
